Merck Investigator Studies Program (MISP) : Diabetes - Grant

Effective October 2014, the Diabetes Merck Investigator Studies Program (MISP) Committee will accept proposals within our current areas of interest (AOI) up to March 3, 2015 for the first review cycle... Read more

After initial acceptance of concept proposal, a full protocol and detailed budget should be submitted via Visiontracker, Merck’s on-line study management system (in US) or your MSD country representative (outside US). The proposals will be collectively reviewed and selected by the Diabetes MISP Committee. There is no absolute restriction on the budget, while most submitted studies in the past were well under $1M USD.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month with April 10, 2015 designated as Wear Blue Day. We want to work with the Texas Organization of Baccalaureate and Graduate Nursing Education and have members wear blue on April 10th. As the number of Texas children being abused continue to rise it is important that everyone become involved.​

We would like to share with you some sad facts about an epidemic that is affecting the lives of America’s children. More than three million children are reported as abused or neglected in America every year, with one million of those cases being confirmed. And, sadly, over 160 children died in Texas alone last year from child abuse or neglect.

While these statistics are horrifying, there is hope. We know that child abuse and neglect are preventable. There is no reason for this many children to not enjoy a sense of security in the one place they should expect it most – home.

By wearing blue on April 10, 2015 you will be making a statement. With your help, we can stop this violence – and bring hope to America's children. You can make a difference in the lives of our children.
